I have a 32b with
SPL: HBOOT-1.33.0004
RADIO: 2.22.19.26I
I saw several opportunities to upgrade either spl or radio or both. But I don't see why I would need to do that. Does it bring along extended capacity? Speed? Anything else? Or is it just about compatibility with some ROM?
Which SPL and RADIO would you recommend now for FROYO?

Good Question. I was thinking about the same thing...
I have the same question. Does having the newer radio improve anything?
Right now I am running CM6 with Pershoot's latest kernel.
I used the Universal Androot to root it and Rom Manager to install the rest.
Here is what I have for SPL & Radio

Any advice?
Well, I'm not expert in these things,
but as far as i know, with a newer Radio you will get a better reception and signal quality,
plus there is some Rom are cook to work with specific Radios,
and about the SPL, you need to have and Eng-SPL with S-OFF,
in case if you messed anything up and you messed the recovery menu as well (as some people did)
the Eng-SPL will save your life
so, long story short, you can't brick your phone if you have an Eng-SPL/S-OFF
MOD EDIT: STRIKEOUT ALL INACCURATE INFORMATION
Hey there!
A few things you need to know:
1. If it's working just fine, leave it alone.
2.Those with 32B phones should keep their current radio and, at most, upgrade to an engineering SPL to switch security to OFF.
3. Owners of the MyTouch Fender/LE/1.2/whatever-the-hell-it's-called (the one with the 3,5mm audio jack) should NEVER touch their radio and SPL unless they want to brick their phones. You'll have to switch radios/SPLs during rooting, but will need to revert back to stock in order to get it working right.
4. The only ones who can switch between different versions of radio/SPL are those with the 32A (CPLD-12, no audio jack), as a few sense ROMs only run on a specific radio/SPL combo.

Pretty much everything that you said here is WRONG!
You don't need an Eng-SPL.
You don't need S-OFF
You can brick your phone with S-OFF/Eng-SPL

Hey guys.
So I am buying this phone (please check link): Here
I asked the guy and he said it is a 32B and he is checking to see if it is 1.5.
It is a US model and does not have the network logos on it.
Will i be able to root?

Hard to say whether it is 32A or B. but you can get root access with most of the version a bit difficult with 1.6 from what I understand

thanks. SO i can unlock a 32A with 1.5? nice
It is very easy you use just a couple minutes but the method on theunloker is slightly out of dated.
Thing is, all the ROMS under HTC Magic are 32A roms?

If you successfully flash an engineering SPL on it you'll be able to flash any ROM you want... It won't bother you about system versions.
some roms say you need a specific SPL and radio, would I need to change them for every rom?

The only ROM I know that requires a specific SPL is CursorSense and it's for 32A... for other ROMs I think any 1.33.20xx SPL will work fine (1.33.2005 does on mine).
aww I see, thanks.
I think my ROM problems must be related to the SPL I am using (since I have tried everything else, but cant boot into ANY ROM past the splashscreen even though recovery and fastbot work fine.)
Which SPL should I be using with an HTC magic that I think is 32b
I currently have the one linked to in the SPL thread that looks like this:
Engineering SPL 1.33.2005 - MD5 : 2B1AAA9012DC28F88C482E1B21A46FDD

How long do you let the phone sit at the splash screen before you give up on it? Anytime I've flashed a ROM I've had to wait around 5 minutes for it to fully boot up the first time. Outside of that, you may be flashing the wrong ROMs. Which one's have you tried?

Ok... you just costed me 1.5 hours of research.
You have 32B board which means that you should use 32B roms.
BUT, you have H-tag version and 3.22 radio. All 32B devices is G-tag version.
So i was confused... but i got it finally.
This is what you have to do:
Using your current spl and radio you can only use 32A roms. I know that you have 32B board but the H-tag makes it an EBI1 device and therefore you need 32A roms.
Or you can change you radio to the G version which is 2.22.19.261.
You also have to change recovery to G version or you cannot boot recovery correct.
Using the 2.22 radio you then have to use 32B roms.
CAN ANYBODY CONFIRM MY LOGIC?
ezterry CAN YOU CONFIRM?
So it's up to you...
So the question is, which roms have you tested.. 32A or 32B roms?
And did you do a full wipe + deleted all unnecessary files/folders on the sdcard before you booted the rom?

There is your problem... :0)
You need 32A roms with the current spl/radio combination you have on your device :0)
Test one... like the froyoredux:

IT [email protected]! Thank you SO SO MUCH! (For reference, I followed the link given and downloaded 32a black 1.8)
I don't understand how I ended up needing a 32A kernel when I have the 32B phone - I must have messed something up earlier, but it doesn't matter to me all that much - as long as this keeps functioning!
You did not mess anything up.
Your device is a 32B board but has the H-tag (The last H in the first line of the fastboot. H stands for HTC-version.. G stands for Google-version).
If you want to use 32B roms you just need to flash a different radio and recovery (as stated above) and you should be good to go.
But imho there is more 32A roms then 32B roms.. so just stay with current spl/radio combination!
But beware... since you have 32B you cannot flash the 6.35 radio... thats only for the 32A boards...
With other words:
SPL -> 1.33.20xx, where xx can be 05, 09 or 10 (just stay with the one you have now... no reason to change)
if using 3.22 radio -> must have H recovery and use 32A roms
if using 2.22 radio -> must have G recovery and use 32B roms

Is the H-tag the same thing as an H recovery? If not, where does that H-tag come into play? I ask because I was having frequent crashes associated with using the radio, so I thought maybe I should go back to the 32B radio. I did so, and tried to go back to a 32b recovery at the same time. Amon Ra's 1.7 is running for me for the first time, but the "H" is still showing in fastboot:

I am next going to try installing a G rom from sdcard. Am I on the right track?
yes you are on the right track.
The H will never change...
Isn't the 32B version slower than the one with 32A?
Hey guys, so I've been searching around a few forums looking for some new roms to try out (I've had cyanogen since I rooted my phone) and I have found that I need the 6.35 radio for virtually all of them. I'm pretty sure I'll need to flash a new SPL and the new radio, but I'm a bit confused as to how the 3.5mm and the regular phone have different radios that I may need to download. I am trying to be very cautious as to doing this taking the risk of bricking my phone, which is why I made this thread. I was wondering if anyone with some radio and spl knowledge could help me out a bit on this one. Here is my fastboot:

I'm not sure that I have an engineering spl, so I think I'll need to get one. Anyway, here is a summary of what I need help with: Is it possible to update my radio in order to run this roms that require a 6.35 radio? And where can I find a 6.35 radio for the 3.5mm jack if it is possible to update the radio?
Thanks a ton in advance for anybody who can help me answer these questions. If you need any more information from me, then please let me know.
Dear friends,
I recently rooted my T-Mobile MT3g w/audio jack (I found this particular device very confusing). Installed CM 6.1 on it w/ ezBiffTestKernel20101024-ebi0_S.zip to avoid green tinting.
It's too bad I still have an old radio on the phone (upgraded from 1.6)
so my biggest concern is choosing right radio / SPL
I guess 2825 or 2708 (G) is the right choice, but what about SPL? I'd prefer engineered for future tweaks
My parameters are:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G (well I guess its not real 32A since its not Fender or Magic)
HBOOT-1.33.0013
RADIO-2.22.23.02
Any suggestion for radio / SPL versions will be highly appreciated!
I can even do some donations for the project, just tell me how and where.
PS. OK, more simple question
Can I flash 1.33.2010 and 2708 (2825) radio?
Also can they be flashed via Amon RA's custom recovery (from sd card)?
Thanks a lot in advance!

For the mt3g 1.2,
Changing radio: "hey look! It's a new radio" maybe changes on how strong of signal you get and where.
0013d spl: fastboot erase. Fewer checks on sappimg.nbh and .zips. maybe other stuff
Your helpful reply notwithstanding, I still was stupid enough to try and flash a 1.33.0010 spl... Lost most of my memory, the 3.5 jack stopped working...
Long story short, I went running back to the 1.33.0013, everything's back to normal. I'll never touch spl's again.
